If im trying to drive a 12v solenoid with this, would i be able to use the 3.3v signal from an arduino to switch the solenoid on?

Yes, you certainly can! I've driven solenoids and relays off of the 3.3 V signals from the Arduino using this very MOSFET as the driver, and it works very well. This MOSFET, like all MOSFETS, has a very high input impedance, and is voltage controlled like a vacuum tube. So you draw hardly much current at all from the Arduino to control it. However, I do prefer to drive these MOSFETS using a slightly higher voltage using a basic switching transistor (like NPN 2N3904) to crank up the voltage a little higher from the Arduino before applying it to the gate of the MOSFET. Also, I generally prefer to use an opto-isolator between the Arduino and MOSFET to protect against any chance of kickback from the solenoid or MOSFET. It's pretty straightforward, but I will include a simple diagram here in a video when I get a chance. Always be sure to put a clamping diode In reverse bias across the relay or solenoid to dampen the high voltage kickback spikes from the solenoid or relay. I hope this helps to answer your question. Recapping, you can drive an N channel versions of this MOSFET directly from the Arduino, but my preference is to use an intermediary switching transistor and/or an opto-isolator. If you use the P channel version, drive the gate using a PNP switching transistor, such as 2N3906. Again, as time permits I will include a video diagram since a picture is always worth a thousand words. But I hope this helps in some way to answer your question!

is this a logic level mosfet? will i be able to switch 12v with a 3.3v signal?

Yes, indeed! You can drive it from 5.5 Volts quite nicely. It is designed mainly as an end output device used for switching large current flows. Having viewed the signals directly with a scope it turns on and off quite fast and with a clean signal, On the other hand, like most MOSFETS you can also make a pretty nice linear amplifier with it too. But again, it does switch on and off quite well as a logic controlled device. I hope this helps answer your question somewhat.
